May you live forever, may I never die.

May you grow old on one pillow.

May we all live to be present at their Golden Wedding.

May their joys be as deep as the ocean
And their misfortunes as light as the foam.

May their joys be as bright as the morning, and their sorrows but shadows that fade in the sunlight of love.

Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to live in an institution.

To Marriage: A community consisting of a master, a mistress, and two slaves–making it all two.

Let us toast the health of the bride;
Let us toast the health of the groom,
Let us toast the person that tied;
Let us toast every guest in the room.

Here’s to the husband–and here’s to the wife;
May they remain lovers for life.

Here’s to the groom with bride so fair,
Here’s to the bride with groom so rare.
